Purpose of report: 1.1 To seek approval to introduce revised parking charges for City Centre car parks, City Centre on-street parking areas and revised parking administration charges, effective from 1st April 2018, that will support the Council’s traffic management responsibilities. 2. Decisions recommended: That the Cabinet Member for Transport and Roads jointly with the Corporate Director, Economy; 2.1 approves the introduction, with effect from 1st April 2018 of the revised administration charges listed in Appendix 1. 2.2 approves a variation by notice of the Traffic Regulation Orders and Off-street Parking Places Orders listed in Appendix 2 to introduce, not earlier than 1st April 2018, the proposed on and off-street parking charges that are listed in Appendix 1. 2.3 delegates authority to the Assistant Director Highways and Infrastructure, jointly with the Cabinet Member Transport and Roads, to make adjustments to parking tariffs at individual car parks listed in Appendix 1 or on-street parking locations and / or short- term changes to season ticket rates subject to the statutory procedure. Lead Contact Officers: Kevin Hicks, Assistant Director Highways and Infrastructure Telephone No: 0121 303 7693 E-mail address: [email protected] Page 1 of 4 Page 3 of 24 3. Consultation 3.1 Internal 3.1.1 Relevant officers within the City Council have been consulted regarding the proposed changes to fees and tariffs. 3.2 External 3.2.1 Whilst there is no requirement for external consultation, a statutory notice procedure must be followed in order for the Council to be able to increase parking charges. In this regard it will be necessary for the Council to give notice of the intention to increase the charges and the proposals can then be implemented after a period of no less than 21 days. The proposed changes have been shared with the relevant Business Improvement Districts. 4. Compliance Issues: 4.1 Are the recommended decisions consistent with the Council’s policies, plans and strategies? 4.1.1 The proposals are in line with the Council’s policy of managing traffic and ensuring that short-stay parking is encouraged, particularly during off-peak traffic periods. 4.2 Financial Implications. 4.2.1 The proposals contained in the report for variations to parking charges are consistent with the Council’s Traffic Management objectives and are in line with the Economy Directorate’s 2018/19 Revenue Budget. Income from these proposed annual increases in parking charges will be used to meet the cost of providing the parking services. Any remaining surplus will be used in accordance with the governing legislation (see paragraph 4.3.2). 4.2.2 Total additional income expected to be raised from these increased charges is approximately £500,000 in a full year. This increase in income assumes that there is no change in current levels of parking activity. The cost of advertising the proposals, fitting temporary stickers and changing supporting signage is estimated at approximately £10,000 and will be contained within Car Parking Supplies and Services budgets. 4.3 Legal Implications 4.3.1 The Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 (RTRA) provides the legal powers for the Council to make charges for parking. The current charges are set out in the various Traffic Orders. The procedure for adjusting the parking charges is set out in The Local Authorities’ Traffic Orders (Procedure) (England and Wales) Regulations 1996. The proposals in this report are in accordance with these regulations. 4.3.2 Section 55 of the RTRA requires Local Authorities to keep an account of income and expenditure relating to their on-street parking places and defines the limitations on use of any surplus income gained from on-street parking charges. These limitations include; • contributing to the cost of off street parking accommodation • contributing to public passenger transport services, highway/road improvement projects or environmental improvements Page 2 of 4 Page 4 of 24 4.3.3 There is an overriding duty under s.122 RTRA to exercise the functions conferred by this Act to secure the expeditious, convenient and safe movement of vehicular and other traffic (including pedestrians) and the provision of suitable and adequate parking facilities on and off the highway. 4.4 Public Sector Equality Duty 4.4.1 An Initial Screening for an Equality Analysis has been undertaken and a full analysis is not required for the proposals contained in this report. The Equality Analysis is shown in Appendix 3. 4.4.3 Currently parking charges in Birmingham do not apply to the holders of Blue Badges issued within the European Union. This is a requirement of primary legislation with regard to on-street parking. With regard to off–street parking, whilst the non- application of parking charges for blue badge holders is not directed by primary legislation, the City Council’s discretionary policy is not to charge blue badge holders to use off-street car parks. 5. Relevant background/chronology of key events: 5.1 On and Off-street parking charges were last changed in April 2017. The setting of parking charges and tariffs is an essential tool for Traffic Authorities in meeting our statutory traffic management duties as set out in the Traffic Management Act 2004. In the context of these duties (i.e. to ensure the expeditious movement of traffic) it is expected that Authorities will use all powers and influences within their control to assist in expeditious movement. To that end tariffs are set at a level which aims not to incentivise drivers to use private car travel to the City Centre and encourage alternative means of travel including public transport. However those charges need to take a balanced approach to the travelling needs of citizens recognising that car use can be more convenient and essential for some drivers in certain circumstances and that tariffs should not be set at a level which results in an adverse impact on city centre businesses and retailers. 5.2 A review of parking administrative charges (e.g. charges for the issuing parking permits) and parking tariffs (e.g. the charges to drivers for parking on and off street) has been undertaken in order to put forward proposals that will continue to support the Council’s traffic management responsibilities. These proposals are set out in Appendix 1. 5.3 There is a statutory procedure that must be followed in order for the Council to be able to increase parking charges and in this regard it will be necessary for the Council to give notice of the intention to increase the charges and the proposals can then be implemented after a period of no less than 21 days. The revised administration charges and parking charges can be implemented with effect from 1st April 2018. Page 3 of 4 Page 5 of 24 6. Evaluation of alternative options: 6.1 The alternative options would be to reduce tariffs or not to increase tariffs at all. 6.2 The cost of motoring has a direct effect on travel choices and the City Council is keen to promote alternative forms of travel by public transport, cycling and walking. A reduction in tariffs or not increasing tariffs at all would not assist in this aim as drivers considering alternative modes of travel choices based on cost may find travel by private car more cost effective. Such a position does not assist in reducing private car use in the City Centre and the potential traffic management impact that this use has in terms of traffic congestion and delay. 7. Reasons for Decisions: 7.1 To enable revised administrative charges and parking charges to be introduced which serve to promote the City’s traffic management objectives.

  • Birmingham Jewellery Quarter Heritage Trail
    BIRMINGHAM JEWELLERY QUARTER HERITAGE TRAIL 11 BROUGHT TO YOU BY BIRMINGHAM JEWELLERY QUARTER HERITAGE TRAIL Birmingham’s famous Jewellery Quarter is completely unique - there is no other historic townscape like it in the world. It is an area rich in heritage, but what makes it so special is that it is still also a living, working community. The purpose of this walking trail is to provide an introduction to the Quarter’s past and present, and to encourage visitors to discover more about this fascinating area.

Goldsmiths and silversmiths have been working in what we now call the Jewellery Quarter for more than 200 years.

Westley’s Map of Birmingham, 1731 - Confusingly north is to the right!

Alongside these large houses, terraces of artisans’ homes were also constructed. In time the gardens of these houses became built up with workshops and spare rooms had work benches installed.
